Depth Sensing Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Component (Camera/Lens Module, Sensor, Illuminator), By Industry Vertical (Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Industrial Automation, Healthcare, Others (Building Automation, Gaming and Others)) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Depth sensing is define as a process of measuring depth and distance between the objects. This process  is executed with the help of advanced depth sensors and equipment. Depth sensing technology helps to generate illustration of virtual world through information received from the sensors. Some of the sensors used for this technique are time of flight (ToF) depth sensors, infra-red (IR), light detection and ranging (LIDAR), and others. These sensors help to generate information such as gestures, distance, object’s motion, and movements and others by measuring distance between sensors and the objects. Further, key manufacturers are focused on investing for the development of advanced sensor used the in-depth-sensing process. According to sources, investment done by some of the  players in the global sensors market is expected to exceed US$ 124.2 Bn by the end of 2024.

Increasing market of consumer electronics products and rising adoption of augmented and virtual reality in gaming industry are expected to drive the growth of depth sensing market. Further, evolution of advanced sensors based on nanotechnology, used in industrial applications is anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period. Key players in this market are focusing on mergers and collaboration with other players to develop advanced sensors used for depth sensing process. For instance, in December 2016, Infineon Technologies partnered with PMD Technologies AG, developed and launched first 3D, time of flight image sensors, enabled with depth-sensing technology. These sensors being develop for “Google Tango Project.”
